This paper presents the effect of boundary conditions in various failure pressure models published for the estimation of failure pressure. Furthermore, this approach is extended to the failure prediction with the aid of a failure probability model. The first order Taylor series expansion of the limit state function is used in order to estimate the probability of failure associated with each corrosion defect in buried pipelines for long exposure period with unit of years. A failure probability model based on the von-Mises failure criterion is adapted. The log-normal and standard normal probability functions for varying random variables are adapted. The effects of random variables such as defect depth, pipe diameter, defect length, fluid pressure, corrosion rate, material yield stress, material ultimate tensile strength and pipe thickness on the failure probability of the buried pipelines are systematically investigated for the corrosion pipeline by using an adapted failure probability model and varying failure pressure model.

Because of the continuous growth of energy consumption and also the tendency to site power lines and pipelines along the same route, the close proximity of power lines and buried metallic pipelines has become more and more frequent. Therefore there has been and still is a slowing concern about possible hazards resulting from the influence of power lines on metallic pipelines. Underground pipelines that run parallel to or in close proximity to power lines are subjected to induced voltages caused by the time-varying magnetic fields produced by the power line currents. The induced electro- motive force cause currents circulation in the pipeline and voltages between the pipeline and surrounding earth. This paper analyzes the induced voltage on the gas pipelines buried in parallel with 22.9kV distribution lines. Their magnitude depends on the length of parallelism and on the distance between distribution lines and pipeline.

지진해일 위험재해도의 작성과 재해경감대책 수립을 위해서는 연안역의 상세한 수심 및 지형을 이용한 시뮬레이션이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Beowulf 병렬계산을 통해 동해 전 영역에서 정밀산정이 가능한 병렬유한요소모형을 이용하여 1993년 7월 12일 동해안에 내습한 지진해일에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하고, 그 계산 결과와 관측치와의 비교결과를 제시한다. 또한, 해안에서의 지진 해일고의 통계적 분포에 대해 논하며, 해안에서의 지진해일고의 파고분포가 전반적으로 대수정규분포를 따르는 경향을 제시하였다.

This study is to investigate dynamic response of concrete buried pipelines with various end boundary conditions and develop a curve fitted equation to ensure practicality and convenience for the use at the actual field for the test of resistance of earthquake. Dynamic response under the various end boundary conditions is calculated with analysis on values and computing programs. However, such a method of analysis requires skillfulness in using computing programs for dynamic movement of buried pipelines with dynamic analysis formula and has lower efficiency and practicality because, in the nature of analysis program of values, it needs much time to conduct repeated calculations. Therefore, the study is intended to develop a curve fitted equation to ensure more efficient and practical analysis. This paper tests various degrees of equation with non-linear least square method and developments a curve fitted equation based on the transmission speed with the best results. In the use of curve fitted equation, degree of polynomial and determining coefficient are influenced by the speed of transmission.

The dynamic response of buried pipelines has gained considerable importance because these pipelines perform vital role in conducting energy, water, communication and transportation. After realizing the magnitude of damage, and hence, the human uncomfort and the economical losses, researchers have paid sincere attention to this problem. A number of papers have appeared in the past which discuss the different aspects of the problem. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of non-axisymmetric dynamic response of buried orthotropic cylindrical shell subjected to a moving load along the axis of the shell. The orthotropic shell has been buried in a homogeneous, isotropic and elastic medium of infinite extent. A thick shell theory including the effects of rotary inertia and shear deformation has been used. A perfect bond between the shell and the surrounding medium has been assumed. Results have been obtained for very hard (rocky), medium hard and soft soil surrounding the shell. The effects of shell orthotropy have been brought out by varying the non-dimensional orthotropic parameters over a long range. Under these conditions the shell response is studied in axisymmetric mode as well as in the flexural mode. It is observed that the shell response is significantly affected by change in orthotropic parameters and also due to change of response mode. It is observed that axial deformation is large in axisymmetric mode as compared to that in flexural mode.

We introduced the Excavation One Call System (EOCS) as a pilot system, in Seoul, Korea. The system utilizes the phone and internet to transfer information about digging underground and buried gas pipelines, although currently written forms are used in accordance with the City Gas Business Law. After one year, we evaluated the business model by surveying the excavators and the operators of the gas companies. This paper shows that the EOCS was more effective in preventing the buried gas pipelines from being damaged than the existing method that has to use due form. It also shows that the EOCS was more convenient and cost efficient than the present policies in place. We come to the conclusion that the EOCS should be extended nationwide and gradually include other subsurface facilities.

In this study a modified ground strain model is developed for an equivalent earthquake load and is applied to the seismic analysis of buried pipelines, The ground strain can be obtained using the ratio of a maximum ground velocity to a wave propagation velocity. To reflect soil conditions and seismic characteristics the wave propagation velocity is evaluated by a proposed dispersion curve based on wave energy distribution. In order to verify the procedures the observed earthquake data and the results of this study are compared. For the application of an equivalent earthquake load to the seismic analysis the buried pipelines are modeled using the beam theory. the results of the analyses are compared with those of a dynamic analysis code and those obtained from the response displacement method. Finally various parametric studies considering different soil conditions and seismic loads are examined.

지하에 매설되어 있는 도시가스배관은 부식성 없는 유체이기 때문에 화학플랜트배관보다는 상대적으로 안전하다. 그러나, 도시가스는 일반적으로 도심지역에 공급됨으로 공급지역의 여러 간섭시설물과 환경에 의한 부식과 시설물의 굴착공사로 야기되는 제 3자 사고등으로 큰 사고를 야기할 수 있다. 특히 지하매설된 배관이므로, 배관의 손상여부를 파악하고 검사하는 것이 상당히 난해하다. 따라서, 본 고에서는 지하매설배관의 위험성 개념을 도입하여, 위험지역 배관을 선정하여 관리하는 것으로 접근하였다. 여기서 위험성은 부식요인, 설계 및 시공요인, 유지관리요인으로 파악하여 나타내었고, 배관의 정성적인 위험성을 점수로 표현하여, 정량적인 숫자로 표현하였다. 또한 Key 인자 개념과 비용에 대한 손상보완대책 개념을 프로그램에 도입하여, 신뢰성과 안전경영에 도움이 되리라 생각된다. 본 위험성 평가 프로그램은 비쥬얼 베이직을 사용하여 개발하였고, GIS와 연계하였다.

매설관의 동적해석법으로 Larbi(1995)와 정 등(2005)은 모드중첩법을 이용하여 매설관의 여러 단부경계조건에 대해 해석한 바 있다. 그러나 이 방법에서 얻고자 하는 해의 산정식은 유도과정이 매우 복잡할 뿐만 아니라 유도된 산정식마저 해를 얻기 위해선 별도의 수치해석 전산프로그래밍이 요구되므로 사실상 기술자가 실무에서 이용하기는 극히 어려운 해법으로 취급되고 있다. 이러한 모드 중첩법의 단점을 고려하여 이 해석법의 대안으로 실무에서 보다 쉽게 사용 가능한 3D 유한차분법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를위해 3D 동적 해석의 정확성을 검증한 후 그 결과를 모드중첩법의 결과와 비교 분석하여 매설관의 지진응답을 구하는 또 하나의 방법이 될 수 있음을 학인하였다.

최근 열차의 고속화로 인하여 열차주행에 따른 진동은 중, 저속의 경우에 비하여 상당히 커졌으며, 이에 따라 지중매설배관은 끊임없는 충격하중과 반복하중에 노출되어 있어 여타 지역에 매설된 관로보다 진동하중에 많은 영향을 받고 있다. 그러나 기존의 설계나 해석과정에 충격계수를 이용하거나, 정하중을 받는 매설배관의 정해를 이용하는 방법으로는 이러한 진동의 영향이 충분히 반영되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 동해석을 통한 배관의 위험단면에 대한 설계하중에서의 안정성 분석에 주안점을 두고, 각 배관의 매설 조건과 열차의 주행 조건에 따른 배관의 거동 특성을 분석하였다.
